PAX8
背景描述Description：
Pax-8是成对框(PAX)转录因子家族的一员，是早期发育过程中的关键调节因子。该蛋白参与甲状腺滤泡细胞的发育和甲状腺特异基因的表达，PAX-8基因突变与甲状腺滤泡癌、不典型甲状腺腺瘤和甲状腺发育不全有关。PAX-8蛋白在单纯性卵巢包涵体和输卵管非纤毛黏膜细胞中表达，而在正常卵巢表面上皮细胞中不表达。Pax-8在正常肺和组织中也不表达。有报道PAX-8的表达与、肾母细胞瘤和精原细胞瘤有关，并表明PAX-8可作为诊断肾上皮性、和鉴别诊断和颈部的有用标记物。
PAX-8 is a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors, which are key regulators in early development. This protein plays a role in development of thyroid follicular cells and the expression of thyroid-specific genes, with mutations in the PAX-8 gene linked to thyroid follicular carcinomas, atypical thyroid adenomas, and thyroid dysgenesis. The PAX-8 protein is expressed in simple ovarian inclusion cysts and non-ciliated mucosal cells of the fallopian tubes, but is absent from normal ovarian surface epithelial cells. PAX-8 is also not expressed in normal lung or lung carcinomas. Reports have associated PAX-8 expression with renal carcinoma, nephroblastoma, and seminoma, and have indicated PAX-8 as a useful marker for renal epithelial tumors, ovarian cancer, and for differential diagnoses in lung and neck tumors. Anti-PAX-8 can be useful in determining the primary site of invasive micropapillary carcinomas of ovary from bladder, lung, and breast, when used in adjunct with a panel of organ-specific markers such as uroplakin, mammaglobin, and TTF-1.
